I took the Professional Certificate in Ethical Hacking course at Stanmore School of Business and it was a solid experience. I liked how the course covered a wide range of topics, from network security to cryptography. The instructors were knowledgeable and the course materials were pretty good. I gained some useful skills in areas like malware analysis and incident response, which I've been able to apply in my job as a security analyst. One thing that could be improved is the amount of hands-on labs and exercises, but overall I was satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to learn about ethical hacking.

As someone with a technical background, I appreciated the detailed and technical nature of the course content, which covered topics like network protocols and operating system security. The course materials were well-structured and easy to follow, with plenty of examples and illustrations to help reinforce the concepts. I gained some useful knowledge and skills in areas like threat analysis and risk management, which I've been able to apply in my role as a security engineer.
